Used bio-monitors for eagle safety

At our Bluestone onshore wind farm in New York, six rotating bio-monitors operate during key times— beginning 30 minutes before sunrise and ending 30 minutes after sunset—to observe Bald and Golden eagles in the area. When an eagle is detected within a designated range, the nearby turbines are temporarily curtailed to ensure the bird's safety until it has moved out of the vicinity.
